the full faith and credit of the united states of america is not a bargaining chip. and they better choose quickly, because time is running short. the last time republicans in congress even flirted with this idea, our aaa credit rating was downgraded for the first time in our history, our business created the fewest jobs of nearly any month in the last three years, and ironically, the whole fiasco actually added to the deficit. so it shouldn't be surprising, given all this talk, that the american people think washington is hurting rather than helping the country at the moment. >> and coming up this hour, our favorite personal finance expert, suze orman. she's got a solution for the u.s. economy. cut up the credit cards! don't rely on these new revenues to bail you out. suze orman's plan for president obama next four years, plus her plan to help you with your personal debt well. >>> and it is all waste. that's right, a new report saying nearly half of the world's food is wasted. self-proclaimed dumpster diver, jane velez-mitchell, is weighing in. overmany discounts to
